This is an update to a recent article I wrote that indicated a less-than-perfect satisfaction with the quality of the images from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi.

I have been scanning old B&W photos from my Canon F1, and by and large, these pix are not as sharp as I remember!  For example, here is a 100% crop  of a pretty good B&W image from 1993:

You can see the grain of the ASA 400 film here pretty clearly, but the image is still pretty nice.  But it is not very sharp.  Compare this to a picture I took at the market this weekend:

This comparison favors the digital camera, in my (humble) opinion.
